i love vendetta intro because it shows us how tired leon is. the bitterness in his tone talking about his child self tells me he is partially mad at himself for how naive he used to be believing he can make the world better, when the truth is the same nightmare keeps happening
Seeing this part in requiem from grace’s pov is heartbreaking because leon had just opened up to her about his past in raccoon city (something he had only ever told adam) now grace tries her hardest to be there for him because she doesn’t want to fail him too
